Our Small Miracle - Adopted by Taylor Swift

Part 77

Taylor's POV

I took a step closer to her and she immediately flinched away. I was in shock myself, I couldn't believe I did that to her it's so out of character for me. "Baby. I'm so sorry. Harper. Breathe, honey. Come here I'm so sorry I don't know why I did that." I told her.

She flinched away the closer I got to her and I saw Travis walk over and open his arms to her. She looked so hesitant but shook her head and ran away. I could hear her sobbing when she got to the top of the stairs. I immediately turned to Travis who said absolutely nothing and grabbed his phone. "I'll keep in touch. I'll take the girls off your hands when I find a place to stay." He told me before walking out of the door.

I couldn't cry at that moment, I needed to sleep and sober up then make it up to Harper in the morning and get Travis back. I finished my coffee before heading up to bed and falling asleep immediately.

The next morning I went into Harper's room to check in and she was gone. Nowhere to be seen at all. I immediately panicked and began running around the house trying to find her. Ellie was still asleep in her room so I knew that Travis hadn't come to get them both while I was asleep.

I quickly called Travis but I got no answer. So I then called the cops instead. "Someone needs to get here now! Please, my daughter is gone!" I sobbed down the phone. Thankfully they sent out officers looking and my security also started to look too.

Travis came through the door to pick up some clothes so I immediately ran over. I was in a terrible state from crying and he assumed it was from him. "She ran away Travis! Please help me! I'm so sorry I'll go to therapy! I promise Travis please just come back and help me. I love you! Please, I need you Travis. I swear I will call a therapist and book in as soon as we get her back. Please I need her back Travis please I don't even know why I hit her and I feel horrible for it. I'll never ever hurt her again!" I begged.

Travis must have realized how upset and guilty I felt because he pulled me into a hug and held me there for a few minutes. "I love you too. I shouldn't have left but I don't want to ever see you hurt her ever again. Have you looked everywhere in the house? She's definitely gone?" He asked me.

I nodded and sobbed even more, wrapping my arms around him. The police and security were out looking and told us to keep in the house in case it's someone who could be a threat to us. I sat down on the sofa anxiously waiting but we had nothing back all day.

We went almost a week with no word from anyone. Travis and I were losing hope and I spent almost every day lounging around crying about it. Eventually we heard a knock on the door. I jumped up and ran to the door, opening up to see the police holding a sleeping harper. "My baby! Oh my god she's okay!"

I opened my arms for her and they handed her over. She was very muddy and scraped up but I was just glad to have her in my arms again. We thanked the police and they explained how she had been found hidden under a park bench crying and asking for help. She must have second guessed herself and got lost trying to come back home.

When we took her inside her body was so cold so I grabbed a blanket and wrapped her up like a little baby and held her as close to me as possible. Travis ran over from the kitchen and sat beside me with an arm around me. "I told you she would come back. She's okay now." He told me. I sniffled and nodded then felt him wipe away my tears with his thumb.

"See you love her. You don't want to hurt her and you don't want to send her back. You definitely need to do a lot to make up for what you did and she might trust you now while she's desperate for comfort and scared but when she's better and knows she's home again she might change when she remembers what happens. Don't let it frustrate you and don't Let her get to your head." He told me. I nodded and listened to everything. She may feel comfortable with me now but it's harder, she will change very quickly if she wants to.

Harper's POV

I woke up and before I could even open my eyes I knew I was with mommy again. I could recognise her scent and how she holds me easily. I felt so hungry but so tired and scared too. Last time I asked for food mommy hit me And that was terrifying.

I remember what happened and I am terrified to open my eyes and see her again. Part of me knows that she loves me but at the same time I feel like she will do it again. I opened my eyes and looked up to see her focussed on the tv. Travis looked down at me and I reached over for him. "Why don't you stay with mommy? She feels really bad and she's Been so worried about you. I think she wants to be close to you right now." He suggested.

I looked down getting scared but I felt mommy sit me up more and kiss my cheek. My tummy started to growl but I covered my tummy and looked down. I didn't want her to hurt me for wanting food like she did last time. She always tells me to use my words so I don't know what to do.

"Umm. I... I umm. Hungry." I mumbled. Mommy placed a hand on my back and leaned closer. "What did you say baby? You talk so quietly I couldn't hear you very well." She asked.

"H-hungry. I promise no waste." I told her with tears forming in my eyes. My whole body tensed with fear of what she would do but she smiled at me. Suddenly I changed from scared to confused. How can she act so differently today?

"Let's get you some food. What type of food do you feel like?" She asked me. I shrugged, too scared to specify. She nodded and carried me into the kitchen where she put me on the counter and wrapped the blanket around me tighter. My natural instinct at that moment was to start whining. As scared as I was of her I still wanted to be held.

It's going to take a while for me to trust her again as much as I used to. I just hope I don't get hit again because that was terrifying.
